The X1 line is more integrated and they aren’t the line to buy if someone wants to upgrade their laptop. The RAM is soldered on the board to get it as thin as possible, for example.
I have a gen 9 X1, and it runs Linux great! It’s also not getting upgraded aside from the SSD.
Indeed. It seems that everyone dislikes sysv, but a small group can’t decide on what the better option is.
Between those two, I would go with regular Debian, or Mint LMDE if it has to be one of the two.
Debian is much better about providing a reasonably updated desktop experience these days.
As for Ubuntu… Their engineering is bad, and they’re shady. They push their solutions over standard stuff, and their solutions are conveniently setup to allow them to close source the code if anything ever reaches wide adoption or are proprietary from the beginning.
After dealing with MS’s shit UX all day, that looks pretty good. It seems pretty average for a shopping site.
Per Wikipedia…
TRON does not specify the source code for the kernel, but instead is a “set of interfaces and design guidelines” for creating the kernel. This allows different companies to create their own versions of TRON, based on the specifications, which can be suited for different microprocessors.
It’s not even a software project as we know it. It’s a specification like POSIX, and presumably, anything implementing the spec can be certified if it passes a test suite, like UNIX.
Modern fabs would need to be a national project. They’re too resource intense for private businesses. Business can’t finance 2 parallel $50billion projects; nations could though.
Hey, HEY!
My AI just hacked another company.
Aww yeah. Fat VC cheque time. I’m going to buy so many Doritos.😏
Yes, all those. 😆
Houston is perfect for all that and deserves nothing better.
That makes sense.
That’s too bad. SPICE looked like a promising alternative to VNC and RDP.
What was wrong with the old Boxes?
It didn’t support containers or the more advanced features of libvirtd like virt-manager does, but it seemed fine for what it was the couple of times I tried it out.
Was this vibe coded?
That would be rather ironic.
It leaks personal data.
Cyber security isn’t in the bible. Time for an update.
Cyprus 1:1
…. Copy pasta of NIST security standards circa May 2026 …
Nothing could go wrong with this.
So they know what sins I’ve committed.
They don’t follow my mastodon feed. It’s much easier that way.
Yeah, RH Linux was free at one point. I remember getting CDs with a book in the ‘90s and when it was discontinued in favor of RHEL.
Fedora was supposed to be the replacement for RH Linux. It was supposed to be what CentOS is today, a close upstream for RHEL, but the Fedora community had other ideas. 🙂
- non LTS version available (Atomic desktops are easier to manage if keeping un-updated for very long periods)
Fedora is a semi-rolling release distribution, so this isn’t really a problem for a desktop or laptop. It’s really an advantage for desktops and laptops.
- it uses RPM packages which are good, but there might be some software only offering DEBs (containers and extraction tools can help with that)
A lot of software is packaged as a Flatpak image, so less of a problem then it used to be.
Yeah, the Fedora community revolted when RH tried to force Fedora to be what they wanted, and RH left Fedora to the community after that. 😆
Moving CentOS upstream of RHEL? That was a good thing. RHEL didn’t have a true upstream, and now that is CentOS. The RHEL and the clones now have a central place to upstream code, and they now are the EL ecosystem instead of only RHEL. It’s created more diversity and has added more options.
For example, Alma doesn’t have to be bug-for-bug compatible with RHEL. They can carry their own patches and add features which their base wants and only be binary compatible.
Canonical’s engineering is poor. They build weird stuff, and they want to close Linux off through CLA and permissive licenses. They aren’t a trust worthy company.
RH does more. RH is Linux for all intents and purposes.
Fedora is better. At one time, Ubuntu was good, but that was 20 years ago. The Fedora community has done a great job of stepping up to make it a great desktop distribution.
It’s possible to create a custom Linux ISO. That will solve the application installation problem.
Asus NUC with Intel N150 is what I’ve been looking at. Up-board.org has a credit card sized dev board with the proc, if form factor is a requirement.
There is also the N350 with 8 cores for more power.
